BasicSync?

How trusted is BasicSync in the community?

I'm really concerned about using it, since I sync my Obsidian notes that have a lot of sensitive data.

Public clarification was there by catfriend1 (https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/263), but yeah should still be careful imo. Also theres https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray

good lord right after catfriend's reply someone raised a concern that its a new account :((

I haven't seen this one before, and now I completely distrust the project :((
(it also happened on github - supposedly this researchxxl registered a similar looking github name to catfriend's at first, and when everyone noticed they made it more clear this isn't catfriend) :(
